    WALKING NIETZSCHE’S TIGHTROPE, A THESIS FOR NO ONE by Paul Robert Dotson Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in POLITICAL SCIENCE APPROVED: all + Timo¢thy WY Lukel Chairman Stephen K. White i=e Gwyton B. Hammond May 1992 Blacksburg, Virginia CY LD SS VB5S5 (G42 V6%) Cie ABSTRACT The philosophyof Friedrich Nietzsche is thought provoking and enigmatic. This work is an exploration of three of the bulwarks of Nietzsche's philosophy and an attempt to trace their political implications. Analyses of Nietzsche’s concepts of the will to power, eternal return, and the Ubermensch are presented in an effort to build a coherent vision of Nietzsche’s work. The will to power has been interpreted in many ways, and in this text I make the case that it is a drive for self-cultivation and finding one’s own direction in life. Eternal return is presented as a mythic idea which Nietzsche thought would spur people to live each moment as if they wished it would recur eternally, rather than judging their actions by future promises or past glories. The Ubermensch is the Nietzschean individual who believes in eternal return and engages in self-cultivation through the will to power. There are interesting political implications which follow from this philosophical framework, which I discuss in the final chapter. Based on the analysis of the three concepts mentioned above, I argue that Nietzsche thought societal problems were never cured or even lessened by politics or any political theory.

The familiar political equipoise was disturbed by the widening of the franchise and the emergence of radical new threats in the form of New Liberalism and Socialism. Some conservatives responded to these changes by emphasising the importance of individual liberty and the preservation of the existing social structure and institutions.

  • The Dewey-Santayana Rivalry
    limbo Núm. 40, 2020, pp. 63-93 issn: 0210-1602 Th e Dewey-Santayana Rivalry Richard M. Rubin abstract John Dewey and George Santayana sparred with each other for almost fi ft y years. Th eir disputes concerning ontological and psychological issues reveal deep-seated disagreements about morals, politics, social progress, and the nature and role of art and philosophy in human life. Th is survey goes through their engagement chronologically, starting with Dewey’s fi rst review of Th e Life of Reason in 1906 and ending with a posthumously published essay by Santayana. It shows that the opposition of both philosophies is not just an abstract confl ict between opposing theories but an active clash in which elemental misunderstanding combined with penetrating insight. Key-Words:Naturalism, American Philosophy, John Dewey, George Santayana resumen John Dewey y George Santayana se batieron durante casi cincuenta años. Sus debates sobre cuestiones ontológicas y psicológicas muestran des- acuerdos profundos en moral, política, progreso social, y en la naturaleza y el papel que el arte y la fi losofía tienen en la vida humana. Este artículo aborda su relación cronológicamente, comenzando con la primera reseña de Dewey de La vida de la razón en 1906 y acaba con un ensayo póstumo de Santayana. Muestra que la oposición de ambas fi losofía no es solo un Simposio sobre la historia de la filosofía de Santayana, ii 63 64 Richard M.

    limbo Núm. 37, 2017, pp. 97-116 issn: 0210-1602 A return to humility and common sense: Santayana’s message to our current age Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley Abstract Th e latest volume of the Critical Edition of Santayana’s Life of Reason, namely, Book Five: Reason in Science is a welcome addition to the world of Santayana scholarship and to those interested in understanding science and its role in the pursuit of human knowledge. Science is fi rmly connected with common sense and common knowledge allowing us to expose current pretensions about science. Santayana’s reasonable naturalism is a valuable viewpoint for dealing with the discoveries and contentions of the contemporary philosophical and scientifi c scene. His distinction between two kinds of science connects science to morality and ethics and allows exploration of this relationship. Key words: Physics, Dialectics, Common knowledge, Naturalism, Mora- lity Resumen El último volumen de la edición crítica de La vida de la razón, de Santa- yana, el tomo quinto: La razón en la ciencia, supone un estupendo añadi- do al campo de los estudios santayanianos y para los interesados en com- prender la ciencia y su papel en la búsqueda del conocimiento humano.

Modrak From the beginning the Nicomachean Ethics is about practical thinking, how we choose or should choose to act and to urge others to act.1 Any form of thought that requires the conceptualization of one or more actions is a type of practical thinking.2 Thus the deliberations of a legislator, the scheming of a huckster and the choices of a good woman are all instances of practical reason. In view of its importance, it is especially disturbing that Aristotle's account of practical thinking is open to the charge of inadequacy on two major fronts: ( 1 ) the cogency of his analysis of moral weakness; and (2) the absence of a genuine conceptual niche for ohronesis.

  • Art As Reasoning. Santayana's Synthetic Approach
    limbo Núm. 37, 2017, pp. 75-96 issn: 0210-1602 Art as reasoning. Santayana’s synthetic approach Giovanni Maddalena Abstract Th e paper considers Reason in Art, the fourth book of Th e Life of Reason, as a pragmatist classic text. In accounting for such a defi nition, the paper (a) will elaborate on Santayana’s pivotal and neglected conception of synthesis. In this way, I hope to show in the conclusion that diffi culties in considering Santayana as a pragmatist are the very same diffi culties that pragmatism had in comprehending its own synthetic drive as one of its most crucial characteristics. Furthermore, the paper will examine the impact of this synthetic approach on both philosophy of art and art, showing (b) the kinds of ancient philosophical questions on art that this approach can solve and (c) whether Santayana’s understanding of art remains relevant today. Th is outcome will also illustrate an original, contemporary contribution to philosophy of art and art that can be off ered by contemporary pragmatism. Keywords: cognitive power of arts, synthesis, pragmatism, gesture Resumen El artículo considera que La razón en el arte, el cuarto libro de La vida de la razón, es un texto pragmatista clásico. Como apoyo a esa defi nición, el artículo (a) abordará la concepción santayaniana de la síntesis, central aun- que descuidada. En esta línea, espero mostrar como conclusión que las di- fi cultades de considerar a Santayana como pragmatista son exactamente Simposio sobre The Life of Reason 75 76 Giovanni Maddalena las mismas que el pragmatismo tuvo para captar su propio giro sintético como una de sus características más cruciales.

If middlebrowculture attempted to balance demandsfor accessibilitywith qualityand to reconcile authority with democracy, then middle-ground popu-popu­ larpragmatists wanted to retainthe essentials of pragmatism as developedby Dewey whilebeing open to new thinkersand concepts,especially those of GeorgeSantayana and the"tragic sense of life."3While continuing through-through­ outthe mid-mid-1920s 1920s to speakin thefamiliar language of social reconstruction, criticalintelligence, and scientificmethod, middle-ground pragmatists in-in­ creasinglyemphasized a stanceof moderationand distancelater made fa-fa­ mousin WalterLippmann's A Prefaceto Morals (1929). Middle-groundpragmatists also helpedto definethe chastened liberal-liberal­ ismthat dominated American intellectual life in thelate 1940s and 1950s. It has becomea commonplacein chartingthe history of American intellectuals to focuson how ReinholdNiebuhr, Daniel Bell, Lionel Trilling,and others, out of disillusionmentwith Marxism,adopted a new form of liberalism markedby irony, restraint, and disdain for utopian visions of social recon-recon­ struction. Rather than intending to refute the importance of this sea-change in thought,this essay suggests that middle-ground pragmatists antedated the move towardchastened liberalism by well over a decade, without any sustained engagement with radical politics.politics.4 4 Middle-ground pragmatism proved to be an appealing position because it allowed young intellectuals to popularize philosophical ideas and to battle against the insufficiencies of American cultural life in the 1920s.

The Cave and the Noble Lie The best way for one to begin approaching political philosophy is to do just that, not as a theorist or philosopher, but as a student who examines the various works of theorists in general and sees what is gainful in each of them. It is a thing said to be pleasant – to gain from those who possess knowledge that exceeds one's own. The theorists themselves are taxed with a kind of work that would not appear to the student pleasurable in the slightest, and he might be better off conceding the great labors and accolades that come with this work than partaking in any of them.
